For my Christmas wreath, after coloring it, I die cut it w/ an arch die & did a little out of the box for the parts that hung outside the edge. I was going for the look of a wreath hanging on an arched door. I used some double stitched rectangles to construct the white layer behind it & stamped the greeting over the arch. The two printed papers were die cut, then I stacked them, cut them then put the top of the print on top of the plaid. I used a stitched band behind the arch to go over the split of background paper. Sort of a chair rail look. Since there was still so much blank space below on the plaid paper, I stamped the Christmas on a little rectangle & added the white Merry above it.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

25 Days of Christmas Tags 2016

Posted on November 12, 2016 5:58 AM by Julie 10 Comments

Welcome to Day 12 of Tracey McNeely‘s 25 Days of Christmas Tags! I’m here representing Serendipity Stamps w/ an all die cut tag using their beautiful Ornament die along w/ some gorgeous snowflakes from their Snowflake Reverse die. This is also for Splitcoaststampers Featured Stamper Challenge (FS510). A big congrats to Jen! I chose THIS to case. I kept the gold & white w/ the gold glitter, but I made a Christmas tag instead of an Anniversary card & I used different papers & different dies.

For my shiny tag, I die cut a white stitched rectangle then die cut the ornament in the center. Another ornament was die cut out of the gold mirror board & I fit into the opening and carefully attached it from the back side. Using the fuse tool, I made a little shaker pouch out of a cellophane bag & filled it w/ sequins & gold micro beads. A foam sheet was attached behind the ornament panel before the shaker pouch was added & the whole thing was attached to first a piece of gold glitter card stock, then to a larger piece of die cut patterned paper. The tag topper was made w/ a tag topper die but it was about half this size so I used my resizing technique to make it twice as big & added a strip of gold glitter c/s. All the little gold snowflakes were added along w/ the die cut Merry.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Serendipity SSCB#61 – Add Texture!

Posted on November 1, 2016 12:00 AM by Julie 1 Comment

Welcome to the November Challenge for Serendipity Stamps!
This month the challenge is Add Texture! You can get all the details over on the Serendipity Challenge Blog. November’s “Stamp of the Month” is 50% off & this month- it’s the Snow Person w Wreath! Be sure to check out the Yard Sale items and the great deals on the Clearance Stamps! And as always, we have a gift certificate up for grabs to a random player.

To make my Christmas card, I put the Poinsettia Corner image into my Misti, stamped & colored it w/ Copics, then added a little Copic opaque white pigment to the window sills. After it dried, I added a little stickles on top of the white pigment, waited for it to dry, then overstamped the image to bring back the details. I resized a rectangle die to make it smaller then used a stitched line die around the edges. The Welcome (love the font on this!) & Christmas words were put together to make the greeting. All of the designer paper pieces were left over strips & rectangles I put together as you see. For the texture, I added an embossed white layer for the upper right side & also a little more texture in the die cut grosgrain ribbon piece & embossed double bow. A few sparkly crystals finish it off.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.
